The Rh Program is endorsed by the Medical Society of Nova Scotia and is supported by the Nova Scotia Department of Health and Wellness. We focus on the prevention and management of problems caused by Rh and other blood group antibodies, and provide an education and consultation service for health caregivers in this area. The Rh Program promotes the administration of Rho(D) Immune Globulin when indicated. | |
